Imperial Guard Railroad Regiments
The Imperial Guard insignia consisted of an Army star with a half-wreath of cherry
blossom branches below. There are some variations with the star being replaced by
other symbols.
The symbol shown on this page is the IG Railroad Engineer insignia. The star has been
replaced by a side-view of a rail and two axes.
See the insignia here as well.
